Thats a serious accusation and I can't imagine Evra just making it up. It's one word against another though and unless there's strong evidence proving him right or wrong nothing can really be done. If Suarez is found guilty of racial abuse then I really don't know what to say.

If Suarez is guilty of what Evra claims then he should be punished severely, but as Evra has past history of claiming racism without proof, against Chelsea's ground keeper if I'm not mistaken, anything he says should be considered with a grain of salt.

Evra has form - Finnan in 2007, FA said there was no case to answer, Evra got a 4 match ban. By the Senegalese for choosing France over Senegal in 2006, oh and again in 2010 at Chelsea with a groundsman....anyone seeing a pattern here? He's made claims in 2006,2007,2010,2011. If the game was this racist, wouldn't other black players be coming forward? Then again, if Suarez is guilty throw the book at him.

As much as I detest Patrice Evra, there is absolutely no place for racist abuse in football. The allegations may never be proved, there's even a slim chance that Evra is crying wolf in an attempt to get someone who is rapidly becoming one of the most hated players in the league vilified even further, but if there is even the remote possibility that Suarez used racist language then he deserves a very lengthy ban.

And if Suarez said what is claimed, surely other players, other than Evra, heard what he said, especially if it was said more than ten times as was claimed. They should come forward if they heard it, or they should say that they didn't hear anything.
